This webinar, led by Aldo Parodi, Director of PROMPERU UK & Ireland, focused on off-the-beaten track adventure.

Martin Romero, General Manager of Explorandes, Peru’s pioneering adventure tour operator, focused on largely-unknown adventure locations and immersive travel experiences that contribute to local community development and the conservation of natural and cultural heritage sites.

Paul Cripps, owner of Amazonas Explorer, based in Cusco since 1996, with 30 years’ experience exploring Peru by kayak, mountain bike, raft, canoe, stand-up paddle board and on foot, focused on alternative, less-crowded areas and trails to Machu Picchu, explored on foot, raft and bike.

This webinar, led by PromPeru’s London Director Aldo Parodi, showcased Peru’s “wild side” beyond Machu Picchu.

Jose Pilares of CREES presented Manu National Park — a biodiverse Andes-to-Amazon corridor — highlighting conservation-led regenerative tourism, tech-enhanced wildlife experiences, and family/experiential-learning trip formats.

Giovanna Villacorta of Amazon Expeditions then presented the Iquitos region, covering the lodge’s setting, activities (Monkey Island, guided walks, pink river dolphins, birdwatching, turtle release program), sustainability and community work, and dining/comfort offerings.

This webinar was led by Kathy Atkinson from The Safer Tourism Foundation.

Kathy covered rising global temperatures and heat waves, how heat affects destinations unevenly (urban heat islands, coastal vs. rural vs. mountain), and the physiology of heat stress noting that children, older travellers, women, and those with pre-existing conditions or on medication face greater risk. She explained the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and outlined prevention measures such as hydration, acclimatisation, clothing, itinerary planning.

We have recorded Kathy’s presentation so that members can watch this  section again.

This workshop with The Long Run focused on impact storytelling for sustainable tourism.

We introduced the concept of a story arc framework. Rather than front-loading sustainability facts at the point of sale (which don’t sell), operators should scatter small, genuine “points of light” across the entire guest journey – dream, booking, pre-arrival, arrival, in-stay, departure, and post-trip – so that guests connect the dots themselves and feel like participants, not spectators.

We also covered the EU’s Empowering Consumers Directive (effective 27 September 2026), which requires claims to be specific, evidence-backed, and credible across the whole supply chain, with liability for anyone repeating unsubstantiated claims.

The session finished into interactive discussion, with attendees sharing real impact stories- reforestation, sanitary product donations, cultural preservation, guide training – and reflecting on where those stories succeed or stall along the supply chain.
